[Chords]
This picking can alternatively played as standard chords (G/F# coming from the standard
G fingering = 200003)
The D chord is sometimes combined or replaced by a Dsus4. To be consistent I notated only
the standard D.
[Intro]
G G/F# Em D x4
[Verse 1]
C G D
She was precious like a flower
C G D
She grew wild, wild but innocent
C G D
A perfect prayer in a desperate hour
C G D
She was everything beautiful and different
[Pre-Chorus]
C G D
Stupid boy, you can't fence that in
C G D
Stupid boy, it's like holding back the wind
[Chorus]
C G D
She laid her heart and soul right in your hands
C G D
Then you stole her every dream and crushed her plans
C G
She never even knew she had a choice, and
Em D C G D
That's what happens when the only voice she hears is tellin' her she can't
C D
Stupid boy
[Verse 2]
C G D
What made you think you could take her life
C G D
And just push it and push it around?
C G D
I guess to build yourself up so high
C G D
You had to take her and break her down
[Chorus]
C G D
Well, she laid her heart and soul right in your hands
C G D
Then you stole her every dream and crushed her plans
C G
She never even knew she had a choice, and
Em D C G D
That's what happens when the only voice she hears is tellin' her she can't
C Em
Stupid boy
[Post-Chorus]
D
You always had to be right
C Em
And now you lost the only thing
D C G D
That ever made you feel alive, whoa
C G D
You stupid boy
[Bridge]
C G D
It took a while for me to figure out I could run
C D
And when I did I was long gone, long gone
G G/F# Em
D G G/F# Em
You're the same old stupid boy
D G G/F# Em D G G/F# Em D
You're the same old stupid boy
[Interlude]
C G D x2
[Chorus]
C G
She never even knew she had a choice, and
Em D C G D
That's what happens when the only voice she hears is tellin' her she can't
C G D C G D
You stupid boy, yeah
[Outro]
C D
Stupid boy, yeah
C D
You're the same old, same old stupid boy
